Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.02568 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.01284 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00514 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00257 |
Grade A, and why
design-critiquer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Design Critiquer
Overview
This skill provides structured, actionable design critiques grounded in UX principles, visual design fundamentals, and usability heuristics. A good design critique is not a list of personal preferences—it connects observations to user impact and business outcomes. This skill helps you evaluate designs across key dimensions: usability, hierarchy, accessibility, consistency, and clarity. Whether you are reviewing a lo-fi wireframe or a polished high-fidelity mockup, the output is prioritized, constructive feedback that the designer can act on immediately.
When to Use
- Reviewing wireframes, mockups, or prototypes before development
- Running a design critique session or design review meeting
- Evaluating a redesign against the existing product for regression
- Auditing a live UI for usability and accessibility improvements
- Peer-reviewing a teammate's design work
- Self-critiquing your own design before presenting it
When NOT to Use
- Writing or implementing code (use
frontend-designskill instead) - Creating marketing materials or campaign assets — different discipline
- Evaluating brand identity at a strategic level (brand strategy is a separate domain)
- Legal or compliance review of design assets
- Performance profiling or technical evaluation of a front-end implementation
Quick Reference
| Task | Approach |
|---|---|
| First pass | Evaluate from the user's perspective before looking at individual elements |
| Hierarchy | Check: can you read the page in 5 seconds and know what to do? |
| Accessibility | Contrast ratios (4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI), touch targets (44×44px min), focus order |
| Consistency | Same element, same style everywhere — spot deviations from the design system |
| Usability heuristics | Apply Nielsen's 10: visibility, feedback, control, standards, error prevention, etc. |
| Prioritization | Sev 1 (blocks users) → Sev 2 (frustrates users) → Sev 3 (polish/preference) |
| Tone | Critique the design, not the designer; lead with impact, not judgment |
| Positive feedback | Name what works and why — it's as actionable as what doesn't |
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

design-critiquer is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (38 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 2,568 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
